Yes, that's why I have resisted the "just add the PCI ID" patches that
have cropped up.
SiS submitted patches that duplicated portions of libata inside their
driver, rather than simply fixing libata as would be proper.
So we are stuck in the middle :(
Someone needs to work with the SiS submission until it's kosher with the
upstream kernel, then everybody will be happy.
I know Mandriva is on the ball and a bug with some information and an
updated patch is on the kernel bugme...

I'd say it's important to get some proper fix in a distribution soon (so
I can use my new PC ;-)
